Movies JOKER v.3 (Dragonlord's Review)

[chickenluver]

Budget is a huge factor. It's the reason Justice League is a flop despite pulling roughly $650 million at the box office. It's all about the break even point. Justice Leagues break even point was reportedly around $750 which is absurdly high.

Here's an interesting tidbit I found:

Split, by M. Night Shyamalan, was the year's most profitable film in terms of return on investment (ROI), having generated over 2,000% ROI. It is the 11th film to cross 2,000% ROI, and the first film to do so since 2015.[4]

haha according to that link Deep Throat has the highest return on investment of any theatrical movie.

I'm looking at it seems that the highest-grossing r rated film is Deadpool 2 with 785 million

Joker will pass it

I think its also worth noting that according to Boxofficemojo, Deadpool 2 had more than double the budget of Joker

730 million on a 50 million budget, fucking mind boggling..
Taking into account, there hasn't even been a China release either.

I think it's likely to hit 900 million..

Deadpool has a worldwide of $783m on a $58m budget. i’m curious how many millions Deadpool & Joker spent on advertising. i honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Deadpool spent more because Joker benefitted from a huge push on the festival circuit.

Deadpool 2

Deadpool 2

yeah but i was talking about Deadpool because its production budget was comparable to Joker’s.

 

[trident]

"... As Todd Phillips’ dark take on the villain looks likely to gross more than $700 million worldwide,..."

Will this be considered a good world wide gross for this film? A success??

Yeah dude if you gave me ten bucks and I gave you $130 back that would seem good deal yeah it's a good return

Joker benefits from being Joker.

Prob top role all time in Hollywood

 

[Steve Rogers]

I can already see tomorrow's Variety headline, "Warner Bros. greenlights Joker sequel".

you have a point, but i’d argue that a proper Deadpool (for the first time no less) carried almost as much clout. not to mention the Joker character under WB was soiled by that Suicide Squad abomination & a lot of people convinced themselves that Joker peaked at Ledger.

ya but that is not what I am asking. there are many movies that make a profit that are considered a failure or disappointment based on expectations, especially in the comic book movie genre.

 

[MikeMcMann]

Ahhhh,

And there is the magic metric I was not paying attention to. The 'R' changes what is considered a big box office comparatively and this one IS a monster.

Well deserved IMO, as it was a great movie.

Ya that is what happens when it is story based and not 'special effects' based. The costs can be kept a hella-low.

As I said prior, I recall stories saying Adam Sandler and then Ben Stiller were making the most profitable movies in Hollywood in terms of ROI, during their peeks. Movies that cost almost nothing to make returning hundreds of millions in profit.

You may be right. I dont know anything about Deadpool.

But I do know the Joker so it def has reach

And that's with the media trying to scare the whole world into boycotting the movie for their own safety.

Spoiler free:

I saw it in the theater once already. I want to see it again because I saw it on a shitty old screen and missed the beginning. Joaquin Phoenix is awesome, but it seems like he's getting screwed out of an Oscar because of political bullshit. I think I need to see it again to really review it correctly, but I gave it 9/10 in the poll.

Update: Saw it for the second time, this time in a premium theater with big screens and a kick ass sound system. It was a lot better than the first time, it really let me appreciate what a great movie it is. Also got into the theater a little earlier this time, but was still slightly late because of concession lines and shit. I think I'm gonna see it one more time in theaters...

For like 2-3 weeks theathers have been packed full here and i still cant see it

Fuck
